Common limits for both facets when using facet_share()

[thomas-neitmann]

I would like to have a common limit for both facets when using facet_share(). In the example below the largest value on the left is 10 whereas it is 5 on the right. Because the limits are not the same, it looks as though the values are equal.

library(ggplot2)
sex <- rep(c("male", "female"), each = 5)
cat <- rep(LETTERS[1:5], 2)
val <- c(1:5, -(6:10))
df <- tibble::tibble(sex, cat, val)

p <- ggplot(df, aes(cat, val, fill = sex)) +
  geom_col() +
  ggpol::facet_share(vars(sex), scales = "free", reverse_num = TRUE) + 
  coord_flip()
p

A naive way to set the limits failed as expected.

p + ylim(0, 10)

It would be great to have an option for both facets to have the same limits.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I think that's a great idea. Unfortunately for ggpol 0.0.6 I temporarily removed facet_share, because it is incompatible with upcoming changes both in grid and ggplot2. The rewrite will take some time - but I hope to have more news soon

Hi. I'm using ggpol for the population pyramid and faced the same problem. Are there any updates or workarounds on this? @erocoar
